Two minors were killed in separate fire incidents reported in the country.
Property of unknown value was destroyed in the incidents, police said.
The first incident happened in Botire village in Misesi, Kisii County where a three-month-old baby was killed in a fire tragedy.
Her mother had left the baby on the bed and escorted her elder brother to school on Monday morning when the incident happened.
The woman said she securely left the minor sleeping on the bed and took another child to school only to come back and find her house on fire.
She found neighbors while putting off the fire, which appeared to have started from inside.
The cause of the fire is yet to be established. The house was partially damaged by the fire, with two wooden beds and two mattresses, police said.
